I really hope they can continue their success against the Heat, although Boston's success during the season didn't help much in the playoffs.
Actually even though I hate the Heat with a passion, for the same reasons a lot of people are rooting against them, one thing the Heat do give me is a passionate reason to stay interested in the NBA when the Lakers are gone.
I never thought I would be rooting for the Celtics and now the Bulls, Thunder, or Mavs.

Teague was a bright spot
Why was he stuck on the end of the bench all season?! I can't decide if this is the Hawks' ceiling or if they are one good coach away from a finals appearance.

From the Hawks point of view, Teague was a bright spot, but Chicago just had too much depth.
